OK, but what does it mean, SPC? How I can I reproduce it? What version of Vandyke server are you using. I suppose that it is Windows version, is it?

Re: cannot change to root directory after login

Well, SPC:/ is my "home" directory. When I log in the server, I'm automatically moved to this directory.

With other programs like PSFTP I can change to the root directory, which is not SPC:/.

It's a really weird problem. Doesn't matter if I type .. or cd /, the result is always coming back to SPC:/.

Re: cannot change to root directory after login

There maybe some problem with path not starting with slash. But I personally test WinSCP against Vandyke server without any problem. However my paths are like C:/xxx. What is that SPC:/?

As you can see, the log doesn't show any error message. What could be happening?

Re: cannot change to root directory after login

Can you post a log file?

cannot change to root directory after login

Hello,

I'm trying to connect to a SFTP and everything works fine BUT I cannot change to the ROOT directory. For instance, I login in the server automatically in my home directory called /stuff. When I try to issue any command (cd /, ..) to go to root, the window is refresh but I remain in the same directory.

I tried this using both command line and GUI interfaces.

Thanks in advance
